Compulsory
public education mandated in 1907 required a school age child census to be
taken in January of each year.A standardized census form included the full name of each
school age child, their age on September 1, birthday, place of birth,
tribe (if Indian), any disability and the name of the father, mother,
guardian or custodian.These
records were collected by County School Superintendents for the years 1912
through 1993.
